Allow me to vent my spleen.
I have had it.
I've taken all I can stand and I can't stand no more.
Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is effeminate blokes
rancing around like fairies, redecorating houses and talking about
concepts like "style" and "feng shui." Heterosexual, homosexual,
bisexual, transsexual, metrosexual, non-sexual; blue, green, and
purple-sexual, bull..... definitions have taken over the country! Real
blokes of Australia, stand up, scratch your behind, belch, and yell
"ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the
culture Wars, the Retrosexual Bloke's movement. "
Our Code:
* A Retrosexual bloke, no matter what the sheila insists, PAYS FOR THE
DATE.
* A Retrosexual bloke opens doors for the sheilas. Even for the ones
that
fit that term only because they are female.
* A Retrosexual bloke DEALS with IT, be it a flat tyre, a break-in
into your home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT- not your
missus
* A Retrosexual bloke not only eats red meat, he often kills it
himself.
* A Retrosexual bloke doesn't worry about living to be 90. It's not
how long you live, but how well. If you're 90 years old and still
eatin' pies with
sauce and drinkin' a coke or even a beer I salute you. If you are
still
having sex (with your wife), you're a real hero, a legend.
* A Retrosexual bloke doesn't use more hair or skin products than a
sheila.
* A Retrosexual bloke does not dress to look prettier than his
girlfriend.
* A Retrosexual bloke should know to shoot, hunt and fish - how to
kill
stuff if need be.
* A Retrosexual bloke never watches TV show with "Queer" in the title
* A Retrosexual is allowed to seek professional help for major menta
stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family,
favourite sports team being flogged, favourite pig dog expiring, etc.
You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you
enough attention. Or cos he put you on the potty when you were too
young! Grow up!
* A Retrosexual bloke knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a
tie -- and ONLY a Windsor knot.
* A Retrosexual bloke should have at least one good wound from a
gunshot, shark bite, footy kick or pig tusk he can brag about getting.
* A Retrosexual bloke knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you
can't
hammer a nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you
can --
or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you be.
* A Retrosexual bloke knows that owning a gun is not a sign that you
are a homicidal maniac or riddled with fear, guns are for real men and
are often essential.
* Crying. There are very few reasons that a Retrosexual bloke may cry,
and none of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap
operas. Sports teams are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred
method of release is throwing the remote control. Some reasons a
Retrosexual bloke can cry include (but are not limited to) death of a
loved one, death of your dog, loss of a major body part, or loss of
major body part on your favourite ute, that's all - end of story!
* When a Retrosexual bloke is on a crowded bus and or a commuter
train, and a pregnant woman, heck, any woman gets on, that retrosexual
bloke stands up and offers his seat to that woman, then looks around
at the other so-called men still in their seats with a disgusted "you
wusses" look on his face.
* A Retrosexual bloke can drive in mud (hell, a flood) without sliding
all
over the road or driving under 20kph, without anxiety and without
pearing into a creek.
* A Retrosexual bloke can chop down a tree and make it land where he
wants. Wherever it lands is where he damn well wanted it to land.
Except on his ute -that would happen because of a "force of nature",
and then the retrosexual bloke options are to Cry, or to DEAL with IT,
or do both.
* A Retrosexual bloke doesn't need a contract -- a handshake is good
enough.
He will always stand by his word even if circumstances change or the
other person deceived him.
* A Retrosexual bloke doesn't immediately look to sue someone when he
does something stupid and hurts himself. We understand that sometimes
in the process of doing things we get hurt and we face up to it!

We used to call them Double-Windsor and Half-Windsor which always made me
wonder what a Single Windsor must be like! (so I kinda' invented my own; I
was too tall and my ties too short for the double so I used to start
backwards and with one half then one-full loop I'd get a good symmetrical
knot with it reaching my fly.)

Hrrp Hmm. (clears throat, ascends soapbox, orates thusly...)
Retrosexuals, by which I presume 'genuine men';
Step 1- do not elect to wear pseudo-phallic symbols around their person.
Step 2 - do not elect to wear padded shouldered- 'suits' to substitute
impression for substance.
Step 3 - They do, when appropriate, kill something and eat it, after
skinning/gutting/plucking the carcass. With the exception of scaling fish,
this rules out 95% of Australian males.
Step 4 - They do not seek out artificial environments to achieve step 3.
When it's appropriate, you do it.;
Step 5 - Steps 1 & 2 are the subject of compromise, but never
self-congratulation. You like wearing ties? Go and light a candle for Max
Green.
Step 6 - You're obliged to compromise on step 1 & 2? DEAL WITH IT. ( but
don't kid yourself).
